QuoteReplyTopic: how do you install fusion??? Posted: January 05 2007 at 5:27am
Typos are so fun! I'm 32, and my kids are 3 & 5, so I have a while to go.....
Anyhow, if I don't really take my time I end up with long bonds too. I trim my tips too, about the width of my fusion iron works for me. When I first started, my bonds were over an inch long . it just takes practice.

I'm 39 and my baby is going to be a senior in high school this year. When this heffa graduates I'm going to take no-responsibility to a whole 'nother level. I'm going to freeze abou 6 months of dinners for my husband and a sister's gonna travel.
Ah, I have a pot bellied bong ...oh those were the days before kids and responsibility.
aaaahahahahahahahahaha...you see, I was going to be good and leave that one alone. Why is it we don't appreciate the no-responsibility days when we have them? Now I'd be happy for just an hour alone in the house without having to do anything!
I think she meant bonds. Don't give up girl. You'll be able to do them faster with the fusion iron. Remember, you can always cut those bonds shorter. If they're showing, just spritz some 100% acetone( you can use nail polish remover or acetone from a hardware store like Home Depot) on the ones you don't like and replace them.

Thanks for all the advice. I went ahead and installed the pre tipped hair the other day. It did work but took a long time and the bongs are longer then they would be with the wand. My next move is to buy the wand for next time. I did my hair myself for the first time. Looks good but i will never do it again. HAHA Next time ill get someone to do it for me.

Halleyscurls.com for hair( buy bulk hair, it's cheaper) eBAY for fusion gun with S&H around $16-$30. You can also find the glue, hot glue gun and glue pot on eBAY, not sure of the prices. Make sure the glue is keratin and removeable with acetone. Michaels Crafts sell the glue gun and pot also, Make sure they're both high heat.
I have a good idea of what to do and how to do it. My only dilemma is that i don't know where to get the equipment/tools from to do. No beauty supply stores where i live sell the glue gun, fusion wand, pellets etc. Is there a specific site that i can go on to order this from and is it at a good price? I find that a lot of the hair on some sites cost a lot for only a little bit. Is there a particular wholesale site that i can go on to order what i need. Please Help if you can.

many rows of fusion with lots of hair on the bonds. press hard on and roll the bonds quickly when making them so that the bonded glue isn't to fat but thin enough and short enough that it remains hidden underneath your hair, you may have to cut them shorter. keep adding til you're happy. make sure you don't add to much weight to your hair. evenly balance your section of hair with your fusion bond

xoxsn9whitexox - I tried using my flat iron way back when and although it heats the bonds I also found the glue ran causing a much longer bond than you want.
A fusion wand is the best investment you'll make & you can find good deals, like MSHONEY said, eBay maybe, or other shops. Trust us, it will make your install SOOOO much less work & look much better.
Darling Nikki - Some leave hair between rows, some don't. Leaving some does help cover the bonds better. In my case my hair is so fine and I have a small head (yes, I know, sounds funny...I won't be offended at the laughter but trying to find small hats is a b*tch) - anywhooo..... if I leave hair between every row I won't have room to install enough hair.

No. You would have to hold it there too long and then you would have to keep it hot until you put it to your hair. It cools in seconds. It would be too much work and too time consuming. The reason you buy pre-tips is to save you time and the grief of having to make them yourself. I guess you could apply it with a 1" flat iron but you would have to try to keep it from melting your other fusion bonds you've added, again too much work and too difficult. Why not make the investment in a wand. I bought mine on eBAY for $20. Conair also sells little cheap ones but I don't know how hot they get. You can probably find them on eBay too.

you definitely need the fusion wand to install hair that is preglued for fusion. I cant think of any other tool that gets hot enough or would work well.
